Rumoured Targets 3

[perverse]

According to reports when Watson signed, he did come for unders. I'm sure he'll be fine once he gets here, as Hardcore_Fan said, it's easy to be regretful when you're in that finals environment. Let the dust settle on this year.

 

[Spot On]

Unders for Watson??? Haven't we given him more than reasonable coin?

We gave him decent coin, the Tigers put up an extra $100k Plus

 

[slotmachine]

Wouldn't worry about it.

Gotcha!

Dont think anyone is tbh. I know it's a nothing article from Buzz but it makes me laugh that people would think about throwing away 200K (300K plus a year if the Tigers offered more) to essentially do the same job. Bit more pressure no doubt if he's starting next year but he gets what he's always wanted.

It will do him good to get away from the Roosters. That capitulation the other night, with the roster they have, was deplorable. Too many egos in that club. Many thought they just turn up and walk over the Cowboys, esp their front row.

Allegedly it's Moga that wants out?

Odd, you wouldn't think he would have come to Newcastle if Brisbanes offer was even parity with ours, let alone $200k more. Brisbane doing the dodgy and offering him more now to try and break contract?

Something doesn't smell right if it's Moga.

Im sure Uncle Wango has convinced him to stay for minimum wage and a few brown paper bags

Brisbane supporters will be filthy if they have to watch him run out for them next season.

lol.

 

[PhilGould]

I've heard it's either Tautau Moga, Herman Ese'ese, Kalyn Ponga, Connor Watson, Aidan Guerra or Jacob Lillyman

 

[Still Nutty]

I've heard it was Watson, but not sure how reliable it was and he'd have to be released by the club anyway

I take it from Frederick's post (that implies he's run it by Toohey, who's mail is usually spot on) that it is Watson...that is a bit of a shame that he's having second thoughts but I agree that 1) it's as much a sentimental wave of emotion to finish competing in the finals series for the last time with his current team 2) we don't let him out of his contract and 3) he will be sweet once he gets up here and gets to see what we are building and how pivotal he can be to making this a really competitive squad.

I've got to say from the games I watched over the weekend that I was really happy with what we have recruited for next year.

I thought Herman was best on ground for the Broncos, Guerra was one of the Roosters best in a losing team, first time I've really watched Watson and he was impressive in the time he had on the paddock - he didn't have a halves role but I saw him make 4 quality forward tackles in a row at one stage and he is obviously capable of being a solid defender as a 5/8...Moga wasn't at his best from what I've seen of him this year but he has all the attributes to compliment our squad next year.

Usually spot on, yes, but I was skeptical of his response based on two reasons:

1) he is currently unemployed so don't know how close his finger is to the pulse these days
2) his exact wording was "probably connor Watson"

Fair enough and thanks fro the clarification Frederick .... isn't Toohey still doing the new Sunday paper in Newie?(I've only bought it once about a month ago)

EDIT - just found the news that the paper stopped last weekend

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

So I guess we have bought heinington to strengthen our nsw cup side?

 

[Spot On]

Good back up when needed.

 

[PhilGould]

Toohey said he hasn't heard of anyone wanting to back out of their deal. Also says Heighington on a 1 year deal is a good chance to happen and we've had a look at Sam Tagataese.

 

[Mr_Knightside]

Heighington would do a job if he came here, wouldn't play NRL every week but would be good injury cover and would be good to have around the team for the experience. Tagatese would be be valuable as well and would probably be an NRL regular.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

I would be very happy if we got Tagatese.

 

[Old dog]

I'll take both thanks, not absolute first graders but super backup
